We attempt to sift through a few of the top stories from the last week, from Louis DeJoy’s Congressional testimony to Steve Bannon’s arrest (by postal inspectors, on a yacht!) to Kellyanne Conway's resignation (byebye!) to New York AG probing deeper into Trump's finances and wanting to depose Eric Trump, to the batshit first night of the RNC. It’s a lot. We also take some time at the top of the episode to discuss the latest police brutality against Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and address a couple of conservative talking points that just won’t go away, no matter what the circumstances or how obvious the police violence.
We see you: Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell Jr, the Republicans surveyed who think the amount of COVID deaths is acceptable, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Michael Oxford, Marjorie Taylor Green

We have a wide-ranging conversation about the rampant corruption and staggering incompetence in the White House, specifically focused on Jared Kushner and the bizarre news that his coordinated national COVID response plan was spiked for political reasons. We also discuss Trump's embarrassing interview with Axios, his casually authoritarian tweet about moving the US presidential election, and his active undermining of the USPS. Lots going on, none of it good!

Maria is solo this episode, while Erin's on her honeymoon - yay! This episode focuses on the quarantine depletion we all feel; personally, emotionally, professionally, cosmically as we cope with this endless public health crisis. Maria also discusses the unconstitutional, frightening raids happening in Portland, OR and then rants about a few other bullshit things from the past week (Roger Stone, Trump violating the emoluments clause...woof, it's like 2017 all over again). The title of the epsiode is based on a recent New York Times op-ed by Paul Krugman.
We see you: Rep. Ted Yoho, Ginni Thomas, Roy Den Hollander
